System: My Doomsday Train-Chapter 899 - 344: Territory Is the Lifeline of a Civilization

Chapter 899: Chapter 344: Territory Is the Lifeline of a Civilization

As long as there are no civilizations within range that are higher level than yours, that’s all that matters. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

This, to him...

is a significant weakening.

His way of developing civilization is to consolidate all resources of the civilization to nurture a train, namely the Fixed Star, differing from other civilizations’ development methods, he doesn’t need an army at all.

The Fixed Star is humanity’s only and most formidable combat force.

He cannot help running around.

The Fixed Star train is bound to move.

He has no other armed forces worthy of showcasing.

"Headache..."

Chen Mang leaned against the chair back, gently rubbing his temples. It’s better to be a lower-level civilization, where everyone simply compares numbers, whoever has the higher value is mighty, if this were still on Blue Water Star, a level higher would suppress you so much you couldn’t even break defense.

Absolutely invincible.

Such a good thing.

Advanced civilizations are far more complex, attack methods diversify, correspondingly, defenses are somewhat overwhelmed.

Under such circumstances.

It’s indefensible.

Watching out for thieves a thousand days eventually leads to a lapse.

The best defense is... clearing.

Pre-emptively clearing all civilizations within range that might threaten you in the future around your territory, this is the greatest significance of the "Cosmic Landmine," and at this point, he finally understood the real meaning of cosmic landmines, deciding to start crafting cosmic landmines for the Human Civilization.

The Human Civilization also needs cosmic landmines.

At the very least, it needs to fill the vicinity of the Nia Star System with cosmic landmines.

Otherwise, there is truly no sense of security at all.

...

Time passes quickly.

A year has gone by.

This year, the Fixed Star train went nowhere, just stayed in the Nia Star System, developing its foundation, firstly almost all civilizations have already merged into the "Human Civilization," with a complete change of leadership at the top.

These civilizations.

Continue to maintain free development, but the local government needs to regularly pay tribute to the Human Civilization.

Equivalent to an autonomous region.

As for the batch of civilizations that initially allied with the Insect Race civilization, they’ve all been abandoned in Star System 27, forbidden to use wormholes or have contact and trade with other civilizations.

Besides this.

The thing Chen Mang has spent the most time and effort on this year is, along with Qiuya, Qi Kexiu, Ai, among others, beginning research into cosmic landmines belonging to the Human Civilization.

The best form of cosmic landmine is naturally the Stellar Giant Beast.

But...

They can’t capture that many large Stellar Giant Beasts, and temporarily lack the ability to transform the Stellar Giant Beasts, not to mention modifying them into those measuring 2 light-years in diameter, however, they have researched other forms of cosmic landmines, ready to enter the experimental phase soon.

Apart from this.

The development on Water Blue Star this year has also been rapid, thanks to the civilization’s upgrade, many new enterprises have emerged, upon upgrading to a fourth-level civilization, all trains within the Human Civilization enjoy the "Space-Time Retrospect" feature.

But currently, Chen Mang has only made this feature available to the Train Captain on Water Blue Star.

The other civilizations that joined the Human Civilization only have a nominal status, and for now do not enjoy the treatment of a fourth-level civilization.

Among them, a newly emerging industry is quite interesting.

"Tracing Love."

For example...

Wrapped in a colorful light membrane, inside a train, a man stands in the compartment, looking out the window at the woman, tears streaming down her face unable to stop crying, meanwhile, other people inside the train room are also in distress.

This industry.

Allows people to go back to when their loved ones, parents hadn’t passed away yet, to go back to the past and personally see their family.

In life, it’s only upon parting one feels reluctance.

Long-term habitual thinking makes people always feel everyone will stay together forever, until abrupt separation, that tide-like pain becomes unstoppable.

Only--

Even going back a year requires the price of 100 million units of iron ore, this is the cost price, on Water Blue Star, not many people can afford it.

An industry unaffordable for the masses is destined not to be a good industry.

Therefore...

Through big data, all "consumers" who wish to return to a timeline node and location are tracked, identifying a common point, then placing a large batch of consumers inside the train room, allowing everyone to see the person they wish to see.

The price will be much cheaper.

Of course.

Some people at this timeline can see the complete person they wish to see, so the price will be much higher.

Some can only see a silhouette, so the price will be much cheaper.

Some can even only hear a voice, so the price will be even cheaper.

All pricing and integration are conducted through big data.

Or in other words...

carried out by "Ai."

Currently all companies need AI assistance, some stronger companies choose to integrate with "President Ai," the strongest AI in humanity’s computational power at present, its efficiency is also very high, of course, its price is also the highest.

Just like now—

Inside the train, countless people are sobbing uncontrollably, looking towards the people they dream of from the past timeline, for the first time feeling the difference brought by past and future at this moment, for the first time feeling what it’s like to appear reachable though never intersecting.

"Hey."

At this moment.

A man’s sobbing suddenly stops, his girlfriend had a fight with him and drove out in the heavy rain. Her family told him she died in a sudden car accident; he mourned for a whole year, constantly tormented by guilt.

But after returning a year back, he found out how his girlfriend sat in the passenger seat, while a handsome guy sat in the driver’s seat, and moreover... and moreover...

The sadness on the man’s face gradually dissipated, after a long silence he spoke.

"Good riddance."

"Fucking bastard."
